PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying re-

lief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915(d) (1994), amended by Prison Litigation Reform Act, Pub. L.
No. 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321 (1996). We have reviewed the record and

the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Shippy v.

Harold, No. CA-96-307 (E.D.N.C. Apr. 24, 1996). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.
